Authorizes DOT, NJTA, and SJTA to permit BPU-certified persons to install and maintain solar photovoltaic panels on noise barriers erected on roads and highways.
This bill allows certified solar panel installers to place solar photovoltaic panels on noise barriers along New Jersey roads and highways.

The bill specifies that these installations count toward state greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. The policy directly affects certified solar installers, state transportation agencies, and highway noise barriers across the state.
